Description
In 1970, internationally renowned artist Bill Nelson created The Lon Chaney Portfolio, an exquisitely rendered series of black and white illustrations devoted to Hollywood¿s beloved ¿Man of a Thousand Faces.¿ Now, 40 years later, Nelson returns to his roots to revisit Chaney¿s make-up genius with this deluxe hardbound limited edition showcasing not only his original portfolio drawings, but also more than 50 brand new color and black & white illustrations, accompanied by Nelson¿s insightful personal commentary. Also included are introductions from 7-time Academy Award winning make-up artist Rick Baker and Ron Chaney, Lon Sr.¿s great grandson and owner of Chaney Enterprises. This lavish tribute is offered in a deluxe hardcover edition, 160 pages and measuring 10-1/2 x 14¿. It is issued in a strictly limited edition of 1,000 copies and will not be reprinted.
